Sibling Rivalry

Summary: Fred and George have been inseparable their whole lives. Can a new relationship change that forever....?

Chapter 1

AU HP Sibling
Rivalry.

A/N: Fred is alive in this story. In this AU he
avoided the wall falling on him and was merely concussed by a brick. Instead
Percy took the brunt of the wall.

The weeks following the battle of Hogwarts were hard for
everyone. So many had not survived. For a brief moment, George thought he had
lost the most important person in his life. Fred had narrowly avoided being
crushed by a falling wall. As it was he hadn’t managed to avoid a rogue brick. Percy,
however, hadn’t seen the wall falling and was crushed underneath it. Unconsciousness
and a concussion later, George and the family were relieved to find he was hurt
but alive. It wasn’t until later, as the clean-up began, that Percy’s body was
found.

When a full tally of the dead was finally comprised, many
who didn’t even realise their family had fought were crushed to learn they had
died. One such case was a cousin of Angelina Johnson’s. He had graduated the
previous year. Angelina was crushed. She sought comfort with Fred but Fred,
feeling guilty for Percy’s death, internalised his pain making him difficult to
be around.

After her cousin’s funeral, Angelina went to the Burrow
looking for Fred. Instead she found George. Unlike some, Angelina had always
been able to tell the difference between the twins. Over the next few months,
Angelina and George became close while helping each other to cope with their
losses. A month before the first anniversary of the battle, they announced
their plans to marry. Fred was furious. He had had no inkling that they had
become close and was hurt that they hadn’t talked to him privately. Angelina
and George seemed not to notice his pain so, in an attempt to win her back,
Fred started courting Alicia Spinnet. When it didn’t change a thing, Fred found
himself falling for Alicia.

Still furious at George for not telling him, Fred refused to
attend the wedding. George was beyond hurt but tried not to show it on the day.
A rift grew between the brothers. Days of not speaking turned into months, then
years. When Fred and Alicia married, they didn’t even attempt to invite George
and Angelina. George spent his twin’s wedding night crying because of the rift
that had grown between them.

Their wives spent a few years trying to get them to talk to
each other to no avail. When Angelina found that she was pregnant she thought
it might bring the twins together again but all it did was make Fred pull away
more. On the night of the birth, Fred had been invited to be there but chose to
ignore the invite.

A healthy baby boy was born to George and Angelina and they
agreed that George should name him. Fred II after his twin. Alicia, who had
been at St Mungo’s when the baby was born, came home to tell her husband the
news.

When Fred had heard that his twin had named a child after
him he burst into tears. He cried harder when Alicia told him they were
expecting a child too.

When their child was born, Fred asked Alicia if he could
name the child. When she agreed, he was even more excited to meet the new
arrival. He knew exactly what name to give his son. Unfortunately there was a
surprise in store. Alicia gave birth to a healthy baby girl. Fred decided to
stick with his plan. He had reached out to George and asked him to come to the
birth. When George came in to hold his niece, Fred told him her name: Georgina.
Tears sprung into George’s eyes.

A rift that had lasted almost five and a half years was
mended with the births of Fred II and Georgina. It was the only time in their
entire lives that the twins ever went more than a day without talking to each
other. And after the mending, both twins made sure to never let it happen
again.

I loved every minute of it and I thank my lucky stars that brought me to the story, it's been a whirlwind of emotions, plot twist after plot twist but I never got tired of them. Abby and Kade's story is a hard one to understand but once you're submerged in their story and love, you can't help but...

When I first started this story I was a little unsettled by all of the information that appears in the prologue, and wasn't sure if I would continue. However, I am very glad I did. The plot was very well thought out and really interesting. There were not any page breaks or markers to acknowledge ...

I loved this story so much! I generally can't stand super girly romance stories, but this one was so relatable! I could not stop reading this, I read it straight through!! I wish this was a series, not just a single story 😊

FateFellShort:
I have read this story and have followed the writers on tumblr from the beginning. Its a wonderful story. Beautifully written with a really nice pace, that makes it enjoyable to read more than once. For me, fairy tail has very good characters but what the writers have done is give them more depth...

Jean Tryon:
As a beta, I found this story outstanding!! Plot, grammar, phraseology, etc Rachel gives us it all. She takes the story into the future from where due South ends. She is an exacting and thoughtful author.

Carolyn Hahn-Re:
I really liked this story! The writing was well done, and the plot was suspenseful. I couldn't stop reading chapter after chapter, on the edge of my seat! The characters were well developed, and true to form. Thank you so much for this wonderful read.

Overall I thought your story was really good! It drew me in right away and kept me interested as the story progressed. I loved the character of Kayla being inserted into this story, and the way she affected and shaped the life of the original story into something totally new and interesting. I lo...
